CRAWFISH CHOWDER
When we go to the beach, there is one resturant that we always go to for their crawfish chowder. I found this recipe online and it's a very close match. I usually leave out the optional shrimp and add in more crawfish tails.

CORN CRAB & CRAWFISH BISQUE OR CHOWDER
This recipe is very easy to make and tastes amazing. Don't use Chinese crawfish! If you can't find Louisiana crawfish, substitute with shrimp. This recipe does not have the crawfish boulettes, or stuffed crawfish heads, which is how this is cooked for everyday meals. For special occasions and holidays the boulettes are...

Steps:
- 1. Fry bacon, drain & crumble & set aside. Saute onions, 3/4 of the green onions, bell pepper and celery in the bacon grease (or butter). When onions are clear stir in the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
- 2. Over medium heat add flour and make a light roux, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the roux just starts to slightly darken. Add chicken stock, milk and heavy cream then simmer until desired consistency.
- 3. Add corn, crawfish, crabmeat, sherry, and worchestershire sauce. Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper to taste.
- 4. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with bacon crumbles and reserved green onions. Enjoy!
- 5. *NOTES: Remember - if you can't get Crawfish, use Shrimp instead. Fresh cut corn makes this recipe even better. Use about 2 cups of fresh corn, with the milk from the cob. Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot. *CHOWDER: Cook 2 lbs. peeled and diced russet potatoes and 1 Tbsp. salt in saucepan, in milk just enough to cover potatoes, then set aside. Coarsley smash potatoes leaving small chunks and add to pot along with the chicken broth, milk and cream. Follow remaining directions through the end of the recipe.
Tips:
- Use fresh seafood. Fresh crawfish and shrimp will give your chowder the best flavor. If you can't find fresh seafood, frozen seafood is a good option. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Don't overcook the seafood. Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality stock. The stock is the base of your chowder, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can use homemade stock or a store-bought stock. If you're using a store-bought stock, be sure to choose one that is low in sodium.
- Add vegetables. Vegetables add flavor and texture to your chowder. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good choices include celery, onions, carrots, and potatoes.
- Season to taste. Season your chowder with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
Lauri's Crawfish Shrimp Chowder is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. This chowder is packed with flavor from the crawfish, shrimp, and vegetables. It's also creamy and comforting, thanks to the milk and potatoes. If you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, Lauri's Crawfish Shrimp Chowder is the perfect recipe for you.
